John Gill, on Acts 13:37

John Gill · 1697–1771
Acts 13:37 · Douay-Rheims
“But he whom God hath raised from the dead, saw no corruption.”
On this verse:
“Beware therefore,.... Of rejecting the Gospel, and those excellent truths of it; since forgiveness of sin and a justifying righteousness are said to be had in no other way, but in and through Christ; take heed therefore, lest that come upon you, which is spoken of in the Prophets: some think that the apostle refers to two places in the Prophets, which he puts together, and therefore uses the plural number; the one in Isa 28:14 from whence the character of the persons is taken, "ye despisers", or scornful men, who are addressed; and the other in Hab 1:5 where is to be found what is said to them; but rather the latter place is what is only referred to, and is said to be, "in the Prophets", that is, in one of the prophets; See Gill on Joh 6:45 or in the book of the Prophets, the lesser prophets, which were together in one book, among which Habakkuk stands; the Ethiopic version reads in the singular number, "lest should come upon you the word of the prophet, saying", as follows.”
